Found an easy way to make the convoys behave as they should
« on: August 20, 2011, 09:11:56 AM »

I would be grateful to be clued in on this.  If anyone would be kind enough to elaborate I would very much appreciate it.  It came from a screenshot of DBW.

thanks for any discussion about getting convoys to zigzag in order to elude an attack.

hmm?
sorry mate, your post title and content seem to be in conflict with each other, so just guessing as to your post... ???
what screenshot? is there suposed to be one in your post...?
afaik, there is no way to make ships behave like you mention, other than physically placing each 'zigzag' waypoint in FMB.....the game just doesn't cater for it at the moment....

I am just curious how those ships were made to do that.  Is the only way to make a bunch of close waypoints in the fmb?  If so, that is fine, but if anyone, especially whoever made the mission depicted above has a trick or bit of advice, I would be very grateful for it.

No no tricks nothing . I just zik zak them. Problem is that if the waypoints are to close the ships go sideways not bathering to turn the damn thing at all. You can see the same thing with cars the slid sideways.
But the sceenery is very realistic. The thing is making it an other way will call for major modwork and probably meaning that productions of ships will take about the same time as planes

I do appreciate that.  I agree that the mod would be tough.  Thanks for the advice.
